| dc.description.abstract | Purpose: This study focused on identifying causes of technostress among library staff in Landmark University, Omu-Aran and proffering solutions. It examined the level of awareness, sources and causes of technostress among library staff and possible ways in which it can be controlled. Design/Methodology: Survey method was used. Twenty (20) library staff were purposively selected. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data. Collected data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software. Findings: The paper revealed that all the library staff are aware of technostress most of whom have experienced it. The study also revealed that sitting in front of computer for long period is the most commonly cause of tehnostress. Further results showed that though some of the library staff have experienced technostress, they opined that reverting to the traditional system was not a possible amelioration. Other findings revealed that regular training, good office furniture, regular breaks and implementation of better ergornomic practice among other reasons will go a better way at reducing technostress. It was also found out that technostress moderately affected job productivity. Originality/value: Credited to the findings from this study, majority of librarians and library assistants experience technostress and certain degrees of negative influence on their productivity.
